Shopping

Every designer and chain store one could hope for can be found around the thriving Union Square area, with Market and Powell Streets a hotbed for spending activity. For a more intimate shopping experience, complete with one-off boutiques, head further out of the center of town to the quieter, sophisticated rows of the Marina neighborhood. Hunting for cheaper, more Bohemian digs? Chances are Haight-Ashbury will have what you seek.
